Turning 30 next month, need a reality check

I'm a senior developer in an IT service company; turning 30 next month. So I thought of reviewing and planning my finances better going forward. My wife and I married a year ago and are planning for kids next year. And we are currently debt free.

Monthly salary: mine - 1.45L (+50k annual bonus) & wife - 30k

Monthly expenses: ~35k to 40k

Monthly investment for the long term:

  1. Equity 50k (Flexi Cap + Mid Cap)

  2. Debt 35k (EPF + PPF)

Current assets:

3bhk in Pune (parents helped with this and currently living in it); 3bhk family house in hometown (it's a small town).

10 acres of agriculture land (it's pretty mid).

Parents are retired government employees with 1.2L combined monthly pension and 1.5 cr in FDs.

I have 5L in savings account, 3L in mutual funds and 10L in EPF and PPF.

I spent my recent savings on the interiors of the flat and got a car last year because I didn't want to take any debt. Was this a good decision?

Request the good people of reddit to review and provide suggestions on how I can do better.
